PRAYERS!

My father in law is having brain surgery tomorrow, and they will be removing a tumor the size of a golf ball on his brain stem.   Gabe and I are anxiously waiting for it all to be over because the stress and fear of a loved one going through such an invasive surgery makes my heart hurt.

My grandmother got off the phone with me earlier and said, "I need to go have a long talk with the Lord."  AND, my prayer is for the good Lord to have surgeons with stead hands to keep him safe!

We walk by faith and trust in Him and am thankful for the support and prayers from family and friends.

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you.  Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you.  I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."  Isaiah 41:10

    Sweet Kelsey Girl!
    My heart just sank.
    Chills ran all over reading your request for prayers.
    I will hold you and Gabe close to my heart and will anxiously await the news that God lifted him out of the realm of danger and in to the care of His angels.
    We get so wrapped up in all of this decorating and 'all about me' stuff and forget too quickly that there is brokeness all about us.
    I KNOW that God will protect Gabe's Dad and restore him to ultimate health!
    Be strong!
    I know you are a tremendous comfort to Gabe and his family.
    XXOOXX
